  Clear vinyl vehicle graphics

  Posted by Johnny Alston on 13 May 2011 at 10:54

  Hi,

  Has anyone used clear vinyl on vehicle graphics to give a a subtle decal.

  I know on white you would not see much but on a dark colour like blue or black it would have the effect of a varnish effect as used in printed folders and cards etc.

  Any thoughts.

  Cheers

  Johnny

  Etched glass effect vinyl can look nice on dark colours as well.

  Yep, I have used Etch effect vinyl on various vans, looks great. I can see how matt clear would work, but would have thought gloss was too subtle! Still I know what you mean about the effect on bus. cards etc.

  Cheers

  I have used clear vinyl on vehicles but domed on top which gives a gloss effect,
  The only problem I have encountered is on one decal it looked like here was condensation or something forming in parts.

  not a problem using clear for a good visual effect only thing i found was you can always spot the dirt round the edge more if applied to white vans 😀
